Teaching

One of the greatest aims for painters is the cultivation of sight, and it requires the constant development of perception to see keenly. Our workshops are designed to enhance personal expression through the development of both the formal and conceptual narrative as a response to the perceptual moment. You will be encouraged to work hard and to maintain a high level of professionalism. Available for beginning, intermediate, and advanced students.

This workshop will focus on landscape painting in the Historic Disctrict of Williamsburg, VA. We will explore a variety of ideas that originate while painting from observation such as visual connectivity, location and placement, moving parts, image construction, alternating spaces, and color. Painting from observation is an opportunity to participate in something that is phenomenological; an engaging process that is strange and surprising! This 4-day oil painting workshop is intended for intermediate and advanced painters.

This workshop will focus on painting outdoors with various approaches to perceptual painting through observation. Painting constructs of reality is a process that is deliberate and spontaneous; revealing truths that are full of surprise! You will be introduced to concepts and processes that will aid you in creating imagery: color and spatial structures, arrangement and function of shape, movement, surface, and connectivity and visual synthesis. This 4- day oil painting workshop is intended for intermediate to advanced painters.
